To tell you the truth, we do not know what the oldest Italian Restaurant in Alaska is, but we do know that you can get Old World flavor and an authentic atmosphere at Fiori D'Italia in Anchorage. They have been around since 1995 and are a local favorite. They are also a winery that features White Oak Merlot by the glass. They have a banquet hall and offer off-site catering. They have almost everything that you can imagine from Polo Alla Marsala to Escargot and Calamari. The food is authentic and the atmosphere is perfect for enjoying the company of friends. If you want Italian food, Fiori D' Italia should be at the top of your list.

There is no better way to begin your day than a mouthwatering donut. We think that you should definitely put Golden Donuts at the top of your list if you are in Anchorage. They still make their donuts the old-fashioned way. The bakery has been in the family for several decades and they still roll the donuts by hand and use the same cutting tools that the family has used throughout the years. They begin baking early every morning, and their donuts are as fresh as they can be. If you are looking for apple fritters or delicious maple bacon twists, you will find it at Golden Donuts. So stop by, have a cup of coffee, and try one of your favorites.

Ice cream is a good choice any time of the year, and Alaska has some homemade ice cream parlors that you should put on your bucket list. Wild Scoops gives ice cream a unique Alaskan twist. This tiny shop in Anchorage serves up unique flavors and has a constantly rotating selection of delectable treats. It started as a farmer's market booth in 2015, and people loved their ice cream so much that they decided to open a shop. Some of their more popular seasonal flavors are Tundra Queen and Roasted Beet. They have flavors made with Alaskan birch syrup and wild foraged berries. Wild Scoops is a unique experience that you must try when you are in the area.

Do you have a craving for bread and have a need to satisfy your sweet tooth? If you do, then you are in luck because Alaska has some amazing bakeries. One that we think you must try is The Bake Shop in Girdwood. They are one of the last stops before people head out to the mountains. They have been in business for 40 years and are famous for their fresh bread and cinnamon rolls. Their most famous treat is their sourdough pancakes made with a recipe that dates back to the Gold Rush Era. They also offer soups and sandwiches. The Bake Shop is the perfect place to refuel after hitting the slopes or to have a snack before your adventure.

When it comes to choosing a favorite sandwich in Alaska, you have so many choices. We wanted to choose something unusual and that has a unique flavor that was different from the average burger, deli, or something from one of Alaska's steakhouses. We think the Da Vinci is our favorite. You can find it at the Mike’s Alaskan Eatery in Homer. This sandwich features mortadella, soppressata, Provolone, hot cherry peppers, and a spicy house sauce on a roll. Stop by Mike's Alaskan Eatery the next time you are in Homer.

You might not think of Alaska when you get a craving for delicious Mexican food, but Fairbanks has one that you must put on your list.

Besides tacos and tamales, you can find corchitas, horchata, enchiladas, Dominican cuisine, and delicious conchas to satisfy your sweet tooth. The menu at Pacos Tacos and Tamale Factory gives you a taste of Mexico and a cultural experience you will not forget. Put it on your trip itinerary!
